The courtyard of xvii-century Palazzo San Giacomo will be the stage for The Night of Tango, with Juan José Mosalini’s Grand Tango Orchestra and Javier Girotto’s Aires Tango. Two different ways of approaching tango (“a sad thought to be danced”, as Enrique Santos Discépolo beautifully defined it): from the bandonéon of the most versatile ambassador of Argentinian original and modern tango, Mosalini, to the saxophone of Girotto, who, with his Aires Tango, blends this sensual dance with jazz. But there is no tango without dancers: and thus this endless night will create a dance floor between the ancient façade and the river bank, and turn the bandonéon sound into gesture.
